Frequently Asked Questions

Can browsers play MOV files?

Yes, most modern browsers play MOV with H.264 codec. However, ProRes MOV files won't play in browsers — they're for professional editing. For web delivery, convert to MP4.

Why does iPhone record in MOV?

MOV is Apple's native format optimized for their hardware encoder. iPhones record in MOV with H.264 or HEVC codec. Most video platforms accept MOV uploads and transcode automatically.

Is MOV better quality than MP4?

Not inherently. Both are containers that can hold the same codecs (H.264). MOV with ProRes is higher quality but much larger — used in professional editing, not web delivery.
